Coming out of the Area Office parking, I notice a lady coming from the temple and soon recognized her as my friend. I stopped and asked if she wanted to be driven anywhere. She laughed and said no. She asked if she could have a biscuit that she knows I have in the door wells for children. As I leaned over to get the biscuits she said, "and one for my friend." It struck me to the heart when I realized she hasn't eaten today and neither has her friend and it will probably be tonight when they get home that they will eat anything at all. I handed her the whole bag saying, "You have a lot of friends."
